a Dream or the Farm.

lM1unedpOlls Ir1Oune-
There are swallows nests in the old barn caves,
And the swallows twitter, and fit and fly;
1t is the sunset In June and primrose tints
Are browning the hills and flooding the sky.
Katie's milking cows IN the yard, down there
And watching with dreamy, yelling eyes,
The milk as 1t falls in the glittering pail,
And the snowy bubbles that gather and rise.
Yet, seeing only the primrose hills
And sky, at the close of the fair June day,
And little brown swallows that fit aud fly
In her happy past, so far away.
And fair girl that leans on the huge old gate
Watching with face all aglow,
A figure that comes down the dusty road
And stops there at her side TO whisper low
''shaIl fetch the pail?' It is Donald's voice
Calling TO her ct her self-same gate.
She wakes from her dream with la guilty start,
so, bossie!" she says, then answers him
wait"
He had no par IN the dream she dreamt:
Her past she had buried alone in her woe,
She had made him true and careful vile
And he had forgotten long, long ago.
Rarely there comes an evening like shis,
With the subtle blending OF gold and red;
And is IL sin 70 the living-who can say
Sometimes to dream of the long lost dead?

Ayrshires.
Rural New Yorker.1

1t must be conceded that Ayrshires
have been disappointment in America.
A study of their history fusnlshes the rea-
son. They are not a race, like the Devons;
they are not even breed, like the short
horns; they have, in truth, scarcely risen
out of moDgrelhood, and though there are
among them some wonderfully good milk
ers, and good many more that much ex-
eel the average of common COWS, they are
almost as uneven and uncertain as the
latter are, now that they are so carefully
bred, and better fed so long by good farm
ers. Their comparative inferlorty for the
butter dairy, and their short teats, which
are absolutely held to by breeders as es-
sential concomitants of a square udder,
add to their unpopularity.

This is the most exacting period with
cows. II these machines are not we'll pro-
vided with material their products will
surely fall of. Young corn fodder, especi-
ally from early kinds of sweet corn, will
now keep the pail well filed. II the ears
are given with the stalbs the milk will be
rich in cream. A dark, well.aired and
clean stable will be grateful to cows during
the midday hours. Protection from heat
is indispensable if good butter is expected,
and is specially needful for good milk that
will keep sweet until sold. If flies are
troublesome at milking, cover the COW
with cotton sheet and sponge the legs
with crudes-petroleum, or soapy, moist
sponge upon which few drops of kerosene
oil have been sprinkled.

Rye In wheat.

Owing to the low price of wheat farmers
are becoming less careful to keep it free
from rye. The two grains vary little in
value by.weieht, aud there are many farm
ers who think that they produce better
crops when grown together than either
would separately. 1t looks slovenlY to see
wheat and rye growing together; but If rye
gets IN the farm, more or less will appear
in the wheatfeld every season. Years ago,
farmers used to cut out the rye Just as its
toll stalks peered above the wheat; but
little of that is done now. Their scatter
ing rye does not detract enough from the
price to make II worth while to remove it.
But rye is much harder than wheat and
in bad season will rapidly increase in
proportion to the finer grain. 1t is worth
while to get pure seed wheat. This is the
only way to prevent rye from coming in.

nurses. The doctor is also the invent

ment of the Invalids' Hotel. Very many
who were using these remedies of DR..

began to send applications for person
al treatment, and these appeals becom-
ing so numerous, the doctor concluded
to erect his Invalids' Hotel. The Big

The money expended in the con-
struction of the tunnel does not rep
resent all the capital involved. Board
ing houses have been constructed
along the river, roads and tracks
have been built a substantial bridge
erected across the river, and what was
an unbroken wilderness, around the
vicinity of the tunnel, when the COM
pany commenced operations, is now
thriving village with good dwelling
houses, a general store, hotel and

been established here, and telephone
